Evidence for Prosecution.

Chief Inspector Alfred CrutcHett

tion?—Oh, yes, there were other things that caused me to look for
white arsenic.

By Mr. JUSTICE DARLING—Could you have told, if you had
found that packet, whether it was white or grey without looking
at it?—No.

If you had found a packet like that would you have left it
there?—Certainly not.

Simply because you did not know whether it was grey or
white?—Certainly not.

Police Sergeant WALTER SHARP, examined by Mr. MIOKLE-
THWAIT—I am a detective sergeant of Scotland Yard. I was present
when the prisoner was arrested. I corroborate what Chief Inspector
Crutchett and Deputy Chief Constable Weaver have said. On the
4th January I was with Chief Inspector Crutchett at Hay Police
Station, and I saw Sergeant Williams hand him a brown paper
parcel. I then went with him into the front room, and the parcel
was opened in my presence. Chief Inspector Crutchett drew my
attention to a small white paper packet which contained a small
quantity of white powder. He then told me to fetch Sergeant
Williams, which I did, and the packet was shown to him. Among
the articles found on the prisoner were certain pocket books and
little pocket diaries. I have examined them all. Exhibits Nos.
13, 14, and 15 are three of these articles. The entries are in Mr.
Armstrong's handwriting.

Cross-examined by Sir H. CURTIS BENNETT—I notice that the
1920 diary finished a month or so before Mrs. Armstrong died. I
also notice at the end of that diary, on the second last page, there is
an entry, " three-quarters of a pint to 2 gallons of H20 W. killer."
I did not decipher it as that at the time, but that undoubtedly is
what it is intended to be.

The Court adjourned.
